we used the paper to roll a giant joint I have the original released LP. The paper is still in it. Another bit of LP trivia, on the Led Zeppelin album, In Through the Out Door, the inner sleeve appears to be a black and white drawing. But, if you moisten it, it becomes colorized. This was only on the first pressing of the LP. I have that one, also, and have resisted temptation to do the color change. Okay, here's one more. On Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard's LP Pancho and Lefty, the first pressing of the album was misspelled as Poncho and Lefty. I have that one, too. (Pancho and Lefty is a Townes Van Zandt song.)

For some reason, I glanced at this post today and thought of this:

Their version is my favorite.

A bunch of us road-tripped to Amsterdam for my 30's birthday. We rolled a lot of joints. We named them all after a state. Texas was the biggest. We thought it was hilarious at the time.
My solo pot is just under a liter. The Titan kettle was my first titanium gear item, 2003 or 4. I remember stewing about it for a long time before pulling the trigger. I think it's still my favorite, though I'll take a Toaks 900ml pot that's lighter when I'm weighing every ounce. (Titan is 4.2oz w/lid, the Toaks is 3.6oz)
With 2 people, it depends on cooking style. I have an Open Country 2L aluminum pot that only weighs 5oz with a foil pan lid. It's nice for soups and big enough to steam bake, cook pasta.
On easy overnights when I'm willing to carry a little more gear weight, I have a Trangia pot (1L) + frypan set, aluminum, 6oz total.

A bunch of us road-tripped to Amsterdam for my 30's birthday. We rolled a lot of joints. Excellent! Catching up on posts missed... Carry an old aluminum grease pot...maybe 1.7 lit...had it for years... Light enough. No different if solo or with a friend, the same old pot. However, I don't think of it as just a pot that lets you cook soups and pasta, but also a safe haven for my fishing reel (Shimano Symetre), my stove (MSR WindPro), a hot pad, scrubby, spare spool, and a few bics. (Got to store them somewhere...better if somewhat klutz-proof.) Windscreen sits under pot, all inside a sturdy stuffsack. Backpack-protected - the pot...my system.

Yah, for my meal plus coffee and clean up water I’ve been chaffing at the volume of my smaller GSI kettle and eying the larger, (1.8l v 1, 8.7 ozs v 5.8) version, the nominal volume not accounting for the volume mediate for not spilling when the full boil commenses. Though to be honest especially with my MSR Pocket Rocket 2 a second boil takes virtually no effort at all. Complete long before I actually need the extra water for cleanup and a second cup. www.rei.com/product/768513/gsi-outdoors-halulite-1-qt-tea-kettle-1-literHere's a Euro choice, purchased here. I have the .9L and .6L and both boil water fast and are rugged. Aesthetically, nice lines too.

I'm curious as to what pot sizes people prefer here, for 1-2 people. I've been using a 1.1 Litre GSI Halulite Boiler (hard-anodised aluminium, uncoated), but many/most of the supermarket dried foods are packaged to serve four people, making it difficult to use them all at once, so that seasonings are evenly distributed, since they are designed to be cooked with water until the final product is about 4 cups of cooked food. For solo three season. I have the smaller GSI Halulite Boiler but in my area three season use my Evernew TI 900 ml pot most of the time. The boiler is great for day trips when you just need a dose of hot water. For 2-3 people, I just recycled a 25 year old set of 1 and 1.5 coated aluminum set I had for years. I stopped using them after I figured I had beat off or ingested most of the coatings. They also failed my backpacking partners inspection. She likes to cook, or more often have me cook, so two pots is almost a must. I did add a MSR Ceramic Two Post set (450 grams with lid and lifter) that is my winter set for cooking and melting snow for water. I depend on big soups and cooking in winter when I need hydration and lots of calories. And staring this year, a lot of the weight is going to handled with a pulk, or sled with shorter hiking distances.

I'm not much of a cook so could use a wife (:
Out in the backcountry even when cooking a FD meal, don't use the bags but rather a pot. Most of my meals however are not those pricy FD packages and I again always use a pot. I have old REI brand ~1 liter and ~2 liter pots and always use the larger one because I dislike cooking anything in a pot where food nearly fills a container as being a guy am likely to spill it on my tipsy old Whisperlite. So yeah much prefer say boiling soup in a container where it is half full.

Dominoes doesn't deliver to the back country. Yet. I have a 1L pot for solo. Boils enough to re-hydrate my dinner and make a cup of tea. I don't partake in the other stuff, but the biggest you can have here is 30g on your person outside your home, and up to four plants and however much more at home.
